“The main thing our team has to do is maintain focus on the task at hand, which is winning football games. I firmly believe that we will get our chance to play for the national title if we win all of our remaining games. That is our goal and it will be difficult to accomplish, but I think we have the team to do it. The thing to remember about the BCS system is that it is designed to determine a national title matchup at the end of the season. It is very early for us to become caught up in the BCS rankings. As long as we maintain our focus on the job at hand each week, we will be in position to compete for the national championship.”
